There is a link at the end of the post for a reason. Click it before complaining, for pete's sake.

You are reading a blog that you don't pay one red cent for and you complain because you failed to read/understand what was provided for you? Geesh. It is clearly stated here that these fish do not belong in every ocean. Get it?

Egbert, I don't know whose ''ineptitude'' you are referring to.

Thanks to the USA and the various partners involved, the shuttle program changed the way the whole world looks at space travel. There are now companies planning on making a trip to the moon something to do on vacation. And creating a working relationship with former adversaries is the best way to move forward, don't you think? It's what we do, move on, help a former enemy and make lasting peace much more than words on some treaty.

As for the program retiring its shuttles, yes, it is very sad to see them grounded but many people here no longer want the government to keep funding NASA right now when other priorities beckon. NASA still gets money, no worries.

Don't see anything wrong with letting the Indians and Chinese spend some money for a change while they try to prove to the world how advanced they are.

Just because the USA retired its shuttles doesn't mean it is no longer a superpower. Look at the void left on the international scene by the current ''Let's see what happens before I comment'' president. LOL The world needs us even if they don't always want to admit it.

That's really cool. Wish people of all religions had such a developed sense of humor!

What? You mean the Egyptians were totally non-Gaia-caring and bred animals for their pleasure despite the ecological consequences of their canine folly? They wasted resources like food and personal wealth for something as insignificant as canine companionship? They allowed the world to be polluted by all these puppies, while there were starving Egyptians getting no help from the government?

Utter outrage, I tell you.

I can't wait to see how PETA will react.

Another article trying to make America seem like a horrible place.

Most immigrants who come here legally enjoy life here and make a go of it. Their children end up spoiled, period. Their grandchildren, even more so. What is so surprising about that?

As to WHY they are spoiled, well, put it down to how upwardly mobile immigrants can be here and stop bashing America.

You won't find many countries in the world where people can come, work hard and so quikly carve out a decent life for their family.

Jealous? Get over it. That's life.

But don't try to make us feel ashamed of the freedom we have to move up.

...just dandy to turn abortion into a common method of contraception and to hell with the unborn babies...

(somehow got omitted from my comment)

How can you possible compare a country like Denmark to the USA? The population in the USA is so huge in comparison!

So go live in Denmark. Danes are nice enough. But prepare to PAY a LOT of money from your pay to the government so that wonderful Danish lifestyle can continue to make you oh so happy.

Obama is the perfect symbol of years and years of decline brought on by liberals screaming and howling about how horrible the USA is, how racist we are, how dumb we are, how it's important to save snails and trees but it's just dandy to how we should hate who we are and what we do and do as THEY say and not as they DO.

The question to ask yourself is: If we are in decline, where were we before we started to decline and how did we get there?

You'll see that left-wing ideology is NOT what turned this very young country into a world power in such a short time.

Then, ask yourself how we are supposed to maintain ascension or improve our country when you vote for presidents and politicians like obama and pelosi? How?

Some of you have a huge chip on your shoulder about the Catholic church... Wow. I know, I know, all those Catholics have just RIUNED your lives. I know.

So much effort for a French writer. So little effort for something like, say, Independance Day.

So very google.

Can't believe some people commenting think this school is doing right by its students... You scare me, folks.

Mistakes happen but if singers with nerves would concentrate on the SONG rather than their vocal hysterics, I mean, theatrics, then they would be able to concentrate on the lyrics.

At least she seems to have wanted to have done a good job. Unlike some who want to criticize America as they perform it.

Who. cares.

Sorry, didn't finish before clicking submit... I meant, how can little ole Texas make as much money as the whole of Russia? I mean Russia is huge and they have all that gas and oil and stuff... Wow. GO, Texas! Or should I be appalled for the Russian economy?

How is Russia comparable to Texas in SIZE? Uh...

For pete's sake. Why must an article about how things are or might be done in another country always turn into an ''America/ns suck'' free-for-all? What does one have to do with the other?

Not every Chinese or French or German person turns into a brilliant human being with nothing but good qualities. You can go to the best schools and still be a jerk. You can also go to a mid-level school and still be a success. Whatever.
